HALO 2 officially launched 21 years ago today, November 9th, 2004. I was so excited for HALO 2. I bought the soundtrack on CD and jammed out to "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin on my way to the midnight launch to pick up my copy. Years of LAN parties with friends would follow. Great memories.

I am so glad to finally be working on new systems properly again in Alepha. I love the tank game but Alepha has my heart. Especially now its viable on controller with the aim assist #gamedev #indie #arenashooter #unrealengine #halo #2000s youtu.be/IJVlI7JNEvA?...

Dynamic scaling shields. Go from blue to pink based on how much damage you take

Do cyborgs dream of electric sheep?

And we are live! #unrealengine #indiegame 15 Minutes is out now over at: store.steampowered.com/app/3387100/...

Not long now before #anomaly #indiegame 15 Minutes releases! Been busy the past few days making sure the game is ready and added localizations. store.steampowered.com/app/3387100/...

We've been working on something exciting at Durandal. Alepha is not going anywhere and is actually going faster with 'Tank Game' (really need a name for it). Its been so much fun. Arena shooter feel with some wipeout and mario party. Exciting to share the demo in the coming months.

Really fun horror indie game. Highly recommend everyone give it a look and wishlist on steam!

I miss the old days of HALO so much lately, y'all. It's hard to convey just how special that time between HALO 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach was. I miss couch co-op, Forge craziness, laughing together, playing slayer with friends... but it's all bittersweet now. Do you have any fond HALO memories?

GameStop's response to one of their stores still having a 'Halo 3' mural from 2007: "We'll take it down when something better comes out"

Looking at Wipeout and 'Vectorheart' for the design style for the tank game (it stills needs a name) youtu.be/JmK4v_0D4f4?...

Update on the tank game youtu.be/JCLpNi46N2I?...

Small break from Alepha, tried something smaller and more in the arcade style. Still a local multiplayer game though! #gamedev #unreal

I had forgotten Winamp used to have skins and quite the incredible ones! The Winamp Skin Museum is truly a gallery of a long bygone era in which softwares belonged to users: skins.webamp.org

🚨 Arrowhead Studios & @playstation.com have RELEASED the fabled Helldivers II x Halo ODST crossover trailer #Halo #HaloNews #Helldivers #Helldivers2 #HelldiversII www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O_9...

I think that as an indie game dev without a large publisher, your target audience is not gamers in general, it is sickos. It's hardcore sickos that will be diving the depths of your genre and finding your game, and it is sickos who will be spreading it. Please the passionate, not the masses.

Today's the last day I'm gonna be sharing this the ways you can help me pay the bills: 1) quote tweeting my articles and encouraging people to read 2) sharing them on other sites 3) using your free amazon prime subs to sub to twitch.tv/docseuss 4) tipping me at paypal.me/stompsite

Really great read. The downfall of older (not boomer) shooter and linear campaigns isn't talked about enough. Bring back CoD4 and Halo 2 level of high octane story telling.

New platform means that I can post my stuff all over again ! I'm working on FLAW, a scifi retro FPS halfway across Half Life and Halo. It's available for wishlist on steam and the trailer shall be right under this post ! ↓ #indiedev #gamedev #FPS #Unity #lowpoly #madewithunity #boomershooter

On one hand, this is a step in the right direction. On the other, there are unanswered questions, especially regarding the LGBTQ+ tag being deindexed as well as the "banks" not being named. (Though it's probably visa and mastercard). The transparency is appreciated, but perhaps a tad more please?

Turns out that if you invite friends over to play local multiplayer everyone DOES still want to do it even when you’re 37 Just gotta actually plan it

‪ We're still grinding away at our indie game 🏗️ Any reshare helps indie devs 🙌 #Unity3D #Blender #levelDesign #GameArt #indiegame #IndieGames #IndieDev #GameDev #GamingCommunity #thevestige #wip

Halo is a pretty good candidate for a gravity gun, don't you think? I implemented one in @playsacrilege.bsky.social so you try! Available in the latest build!: github.com/SgtFlex/Sacr... #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Improved the Elites dodge functionality. They dodge everything thats a "Danger", such as fast vehicles, grenades, etc Also a reminder that this is all currently playable! github.com/SgtFlex/Sacr... #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5 #blender #3dart

Just wanted to share my art station post for my honours project! www.artstation.com/artwork/AZ4yJW It has a link to the build free to download on Itch.io alongside a JustGiving page to Alzheimer's Society! This project is an homage to my grandma who lives with Alzheimer's.

The wait is over! Spartan Survivors will be available tomorrow on PC and later this summer on Xbox One & Series S/X! Thank you all for your support and patience, we can't wait for you to play and share your feedback ❤️ 🗓️ 5.25.25 🖥️

I made this for my students, to go through the character creation process from start to finish (also to test a blender-only pipeline) super fun project, I think it turned out well 😊

Accessibility settings are something I hadn't worked with before due to the small scale of old projects. With Alepha, I want to take the feedback from the gradshow and playtesting to create something anyone can play. So these next few weeks are going to be spent polishing the experience for all

Recently finished up my final university project! I created a healing spell and an ice projectile in Unreal Engine! Check it out here: www.artstation.com/artwork/ZlBb90

Last project wrapped up for my studies at Abertay University! I've not had the chance to tackle a full character in a while as I've been working on smaller project so this has been super fun.

its my birthday :3 if anyone wants to share my art that would be an awesome gift. i draw ocs!!
